Not even baby poo.<br /><br />But it sure makes pulling four four-ought wires through 2" conduit a hell of a lot easier than otherwise.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-38906911641803821432009-05-29T08:50:00.825-04:002009-05-29T08:50:00.825-04:00Wire-pulling grease IS horrible stuff.

But I DID get to use dynamite to blast rocks, and that made it all worth it!Turk Turonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648721047835980871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-14405600202733710152009-05-29T08:34:44.533-04:002009-05-29T08:34:44.533-04:00What a way to wake up: Erudite, curiously accessi...What a way to wake up: Erudite, curiously accessibly sci-fi.

Even with sub-micronic filters, the dust kicked around is bad. And using "space" vacuum, well, that's basicaly ejecting oxygen from the ship. Also bad idea. <br /><br />And wire pulling dope is horrible, nasty stuff that starts out looking like monkey poop and ends up looking and smelling like monkey poop.Hank Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649129510886706616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-76110004763274651632009-05-29T02:10:04.372-04:002009-05-29T02:10:04.372-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266828722290789801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-68311641054685450002009-05-29T01:44:44.666-04:002009-05-29T01:44:44.666-04:00Awkward spaces you can't get to easily.

Maybe, just like on earth, nobody wants to vacuum?Turk Turonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648721047835980871noreply@blogger.com
